Newpipe working for me right now. I hope it lasts.

I haven’t been following proposed rating system changes if that’s what you’re asking. Variants like Chesd960 are interesting but obviously should have their own rating pools.

News release is almost totally uninformative. It’s about ratings guru Mark Glickman developing a modified chess rating system that predicts the likelihood of draws as well as wins. Sounds interesting I guess. I haven’t yet read the papers:

Rent a storage locker and get everything out of the house quickly. Throw out anything that you both feel ok letting go of, but don’t put mental energy into decisions about stuff where you’re not sure. Just chuck it in storage immediately. Now you have an empty house and can move. You also have a monthly storage bill but that’s hopefully a lot less than the rent on the house, and you can take your time getting rid of stuff from storage, or even selling some of it on CL/ebay.

So if I talk about hemorrhoids enough, it will think I’m old and let me into the pr0n sites! Cool!!!

If butcher paper and Scotch tape worked for Kerouac, it can work for us

Vi Hart is great. She hasn’t made videos in a long while but her old ones are still around.

This is an ink jet printer that uses HP print head / ink cartridges… Fwiw, repairable impact printers have been around longer than computers. Think of old fashioned teleprinters. Noisy, but likely to survive the apocalypse.

Sticker tag sounds like NFC. Certainly a bluetooth tag is possible too. Thing is, Bluetooth range is a few dozen meters tops. Airtag works by turning the entire Iphone population into a giant surveillance network, so if any iphone anywhere detects your airtag, it informs the Apple mothership, which in turn reports to you where your airtag was just seen.

Only comparable long distance approach I can think of without that is a cellular tracker. Those exist (search: cellular gps pet tracker) but it’s a much bigger box with a subscription plan of its own. Someone else mentioned meshtastic so maybe that’s an alternative in some places, or a LoRA tag instead of a bluetooth tag.

That’s doable right now pretty much, in that the cost of existing batteries is in proportion to the other stuff you’ll need.

Home storage generally uses LFP which is around 170 WH/kg. 270 is NMC which is used in stuff like mobile phones where the trade offs are different.

Fans of The Wizard of Speed and Time might remember the sushi pizza scene. Yecch! :)

David Bowie so he can contact ground control.

Grace Slick and the rest of that band, i.e. starship crew.

Intergalactic Touring Band, you get the idea.

Craigslist.

The prime minister has endured years of abuse on the social media platforms he now seeks to regulate.

I can’t understand what you’re asking. If you want server to server relays, that’s IRC that has been around since the previous millenium. Matrix also has something like that. If you want single independent servers, that’s regular chat rooms.

I’m on my 2nd Motorola G series. Very good hardware value and the 1st was almost bloat free. I had to debloat the 2nd but it’s mostly ok now. I keep hearing cringe things about Samsung. No idea about Xiaomi.

Someone on Reddit claims reddit will do the same soon. I wonder if it’s govt pressure.
